My car wouldnt start this morning. Dead battery. Figured I'd boost it using the wifes car. Well goddamn I almost fried myself! You shoulda seen the sparks fly! Connecting the + to the - and the - to the + is a big nono...

Hahaha.

Yeah my old cars battery was shot so I used to have to jump it like every 2 weeks.

I became such a freaking pro at it. Booya!

You mean jump it? I think boosting cars means stealing them. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Jumping and boosting are sort of different. Though boosting can get you into just as much trouble...

That is exactly what I thought. I thought this was going to be a thread about stealing cars, therefore I was naturally interested.

"My car needs a boost"

"My car needs a jump"

Hmmmmm

Hahaha! You should do it again but have somebody run the video tape and then put it on 2+2.

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I thought for sure you meant turbo or super-charging cars, which is what people usually mean when they talk about boosting a car (or stealing it). Then I get in here and it turns out you just don't know how to work a pair of jumper cables and talk like... I don't know, a Brit or whoever would say "boosting" instead of "jumping".
